As the 2024 Oregon high school football season kicked off, we took a position-by-position look at some of the top players in the state.

QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | K/P/LS

Now, midway through the regular season, we want to revisit those lists and hear from you, the fans: Which players are the best of the best?

After having five weeks of games to watch, who is the best defensive lineman in Oregon high school football?

Vote in the poll and let us know who you think is the state’s top defensive lineman this season. Later, we will publish the “fans’ all-star team” based on the vote of the readers. (The top five vote-getters at defensive lineman will make the all-star team.)

Defensive lineman voting will conclude Monday, Oct. 28, at 11:59 p.m.

Note: Some players have transitioned to a new position this year, and several new stars have emerged who weren’t on our radar in August. We also plan to highlight many of those breakthrough players as the season winds down. If you have a “new star” to recommend for those lists, please email rferran.scorebooklive@gmail.com.
